WASHINGTON, D.C. More than 25,000 anti-nuclear
supporters rallied in a steady cold rain Saturday here as
ti featured speakers and musicians called for a moratorium
on nuclear power.
A shivering, drenched crowd marched from the Capitol
Building, down Constitution Avenue to the Washington
Monument shouting, "One, two, three, four we don't
want to go to war ;live, six, seven, eight we don't want to
radiate" and "What do we want? No nukes! When do we
want it? Now!"
When the marchers reached the monument, they stood
under makeshift shelters and blankets listening to many
speakerS, including Barry Commoner and Dr. Helen
Caldicott, call for an end to nuclear power use in the United
States and military adventurisrn abroad.
Commoner, a presidential candidate from the Citizens
,4 Party, said the country must choose solar power if 'it ever
. wants peace and harmony with nature.
"Here we are again at the crossroads of the country, at a
place where the country must decide which road to take;
the road to the sun and peace or the road to radiation and
war," he said.

that all questions had been answered
and CATA is presently waiting for the
signed document."
The union negotiators said they would
take the agreement back to the rank and
file for a vote, Lyght said.
"All parties were confident there
would be no more problems," he said.
An unfair labor charge filed by the
local on April 14 will probably be
declared mute if the contract is signed,
Lyght said. The union charged that
CATA refused to execute a collective
bargaining agreement reached Jan. 24.
"Hopefully there will be no more
further need for legal action by either
party," Lyght said.
Local President Christine Catalano
said the union will vote on the contract
early this week.
"We're still working things out," she
said. "But we're a lot closer to an
agreement than before."
The union has not yet withdrawn the
unfair labor charge, Catalano said.
However, if the contract is signed, she
agreed that the charge will probably be
withdrawn.
"We have to sign a contract sooner or
later," Catalano said. "I think we're
very close."

Speakers also included Native Americans, who said their
lands are being "plundered" by the nuclear energy in

The morale of the crowd rose as featured muscians Pete
Seeger, John Hall, Holly Near, Bonnie Raitt and Blood,

Seeger, opening with "No nukes is good nukes, we shall

One of the most moving moments of the rally occurred
when the audience joined Hall, Bonnie Raitt and Bright

eliminating nuclear weapons, using only safe energy,
having full employment and honoring Native American

Economist calls
Editor's Note: John Kenneth
Galbraith, a noted author, teacher of
economics at Harvard and Princeton
universities and former ambassador
to India during John F. Kennedy's
presidency, appeared on campus
recently to speak for presidential
candidate Edward M. Kennedy. The
following is an interview with
Galbraith by Daily Collegian staff
writer Chris Delmastro, edited for
length and clarity.
Interview
COLLEGIAN: What do you think
are the most serious economic
problems facing the nation today?
GALBRAITH: Inflation. There's no
question about it and more than that
the problem of how one cures in
flation without creating the equal and
opposite evil of a recession and a lot
of unemployment.
COLLEGIAN: What role has the
Carter administration's policies
played in these problems?
GALBRATH: We've had 3 1 / 2 years
of Mr. Carter so far and his
economists. They have promised
each year to bring down the rate of
inflation each year it has increased
until now we're having the highest
inflation rate that we've ever had in
peace time. When you ask me what
role they have played, I'd say it has
been one of consistent and continuing
failure. This isn't a matter of opinion.
Vance to resign due to
disagreement over Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance,
the only top adviser to President Carter to disagree with the
rescue operation in Iran, is resigning, administration officials
told The Associated Press last night.
Vance's resignation, which is considered imminent, is
certain to add to President Carter's problems following the
collapse of the mission in a remote desert in Iran.
"They had a good relationship, but both the president and ,
the secretary concluded it was impossible for him to function
as secretary of state," said a senior administration official,
who refused to be identified.

..
S'gi
Vance could not be reached immediately for comment
Vance was the only member of the National Security Council
who opposed the operation, the official said. But afterward; he
supported the administration in explaining the operation to
foreign governments
Vance's disagreement over the military venture was only
one of a series of setbacks for the soft-spoken former Wall
Street lawyer, whose approach to foreign policy was one of
conciliation, rather than confrontation.
Again and again, he ended up on the short end of power
struggles with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the determined anti-
Soviet national security adviser who played a prominent role
in drawing the United States away from detente with the
Russians.
There was no immediate indication of who would take
Vance's place. He had said he would be leaving at the end of
the four-year presidential term, even if Carter is re-elected,
and Warren M. Christopher, the deputy secretary of state, has
been considered a leading prospect to succeed him.
Student backs Carter's
By DEBBIE PETERS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A University student who is a former
member of the Green Berets said
President Carter made the right
decision in attempting to rescue the
American hostages in Iran.
Herb Frick (Bth-earth sciences) said
that although the rescue mission was a
failure, Carter "had the right timing,
and we should back him 100 percent on
this."
Although many people criticized the
rescue attempt because of the risks
involved,..Frick -said he thinks Carter
made the right choice.
"There were different methods (of
rescuing the hostages) available to
them" once they entered the city, Frick
said. "The Blue Light unit (of the Green
Beret) are highly-trained commandos.
They could have used submachine guns
with silencers, and they'd be in there and
have the hostages out before they ( the
Iranians) even knew what happened. If
you weigh the alternatives we have, it
doesn't leave you much choice," he said.
The plan was "not an act of war,
really," Frick said. "They call it a
'snatch mission.'
"This country will be going through
really hard times in the next three years.
The Third World countries are becoming
a battleground between the United
States and Russia," Frick said. With the
Soviets supporting revolutions anywhere
for any reason, "before long, we won't
be able to ignore the problem anymore.
"I have a real sense of national pride,"
One only has to look at the statistics
COLLEGIAN: Are these "failures"
of policy makers or "failures" of
economics?
GALBRAITH: Failures of policy
makers. We should hold our policy
makers responsible for getting
results. We shouldn't excuse them
when they fail. There is no problem of
economic policy that cannot, with
enough energy, be solved. So that
what we've had from the Carter
policy makers is a long list of
apologies and alibis.
COLLEGIAN: Where do you think
Carter's proposed policies will lead
our economy if he is re-elected? For
example, balancing the budget?
GALBRAITH: Allwe have to go on
is the record and the record has been
one of continuing and worsening
inflation, with the possibility now of
combining inflation with a quite
serious depression. We sawon April
15 the closing down of the Ford plants.
in New Jersey. The .automobile in
dustry is working way below
capacity. The steel industry is in very
bad shape. We are suffering already
from a policy that combines inflation
with industrial deterioration. There's
no excuse for this.
COLLEGIAN: Through your
support of wage and price controls,
you have been divergent from con-
Frick said, adding that he thinks
everyone should spend a little time in the
service.
Frick said he was disturbed by the
attitude of many of the students on
campus toward the world situation.
"It's like they're blind to what's really
going on in the world. I thihk they should
wake up." •
He said he believes that people who
graduate from the University and plan
on "reaping the rewards of our society
should be willing to put something into it
first." The experience would be "good
for them•and good for the country," he
said.
students don't know what they're
doing now or when they graduate I
encourage them to go in the service,"
Frick said. "I'd
,like to see how brave
they are. I dare them."
The members of the Green Berets, a
counter-insurgency army group, have
"a lot of very high self-esteem. They're
all volunteers," Frick said. "I hate the
way people categorize the Green Beret. I
wouldn't say they're bloodthirsty, as
people like to say. They're very in
telligent, dedicated, professional and
highly patriotic individuals."
Frick was part of the Special Forces
until five years ago, when he was in
volved in a hit-and-run accident while
returning to the North Carolina base
where he was stationed. Doctors thought
he would be permanently handicapped
and for two years he walked in a cast. He
has, however, regained most of the use
of his leg. Frick said if not for the ac-
policies 'failure'
ventional fiscal and monetary policy
as a means to deal with inflation in a
modern capitalistic society. What
would be your program?
GALBRATIH: Inflation is a serious
enough problem so that you have to
use all available measures. You need
to take some of the heat out of the
energy market by using less gasoline.
You have to have a conservative
budget. This is part of the game.
You have to keep some restraints
on bank lending monetary policy.
That's part of the game, although you

A theory has persisted from the start that Brzezinski, like
Kissinger, would like to move from the national security ad
viser's job to secretary of state. But last month, Brzezinski
told a women's Democratic group that his choice for a new
secretary was Christopher, a slight Los Angeles lawyer who
served in the Justice Department during the Johnson ad
ministration.
Christopher recently has taken on a number of travel
missions that normally would have been Vance's, including
efforts to persuade European leaders to support Carter's
economic sanctions against Iran and against the Soviet Union
for the Soviets' intervention in Afghanistan.
Vance, 63, is a veteran of the Democratic foreign policy
establishment whose international views underwent a major
shift during the Vietnam war. A former deputy defense
secretary, he became a quiet advocate of conciliation and a
low-keyed approach to world problems.
One of his principal interests, a transition to black rule in
Rhodesia, was accomplished largely through the offices of the
British government. But in arms control and human rights,
Vance saw once-favored Carter policies take a back seat to
growing confrontation with the Soviet Union.
While Brzezinski, Defense Secretary Harold Brown and
other key advisers to Carter were prominent in the aftermath
of the rescue attempt, there was no sign of Vance, even though'
he quietly worked pre-dawn hours at the State Department
directing notification to foreign governments and con
sultations with key members of Congress.
cident he would probably still be in.
Although Frick would willingly have
gone with the rescue crew if he had still
been a part of the Green Beret, he said,
"I consider myself lucky that I didn't
have to go. I hope we never really have
to get into a war. I don't like to see
anybody die."
During Frick's period of service, he
was constantly training for anything, he
said.
"It wouldn't be uncommon to go out in
the field for one or two months at a time.
It's nothing to be woke up in the middle
of th - e' night and fly to Idaho and
parachute into a lake."
Survival training involved living off
the land in unfamiliar territory with only
a map and no food, Frick said, adding
that eating snakes was sometimes
necessary.
Becoming a member of the Green
Berets took a full year of testing and
training, Frick said. lie began with
basic, then infantry training, followed by
jump school. He had to next take a
Special Forces qualifications course.
Out of the 150 people who began the
course, only 28 graduated and became
members of the Special Forces, Frick
said.
Frick was a weapons specialist in the
unit, the best in his class. lie worked
with a great variety of weapons:
machine guns, submachine guns,
rockets, pistols and mortars. During his
training he fired weapons from every
country and every period of history since
the beginning of the century.
John Kenneth Galbraith
do not want these ridiculously high
interest rates. You must have a
system of mandatory wage and price
controls, because, those are the
practical alternatives to using
unemployment as the way of keeping
down prices.
The reason that the trade unions
are willing to accept a system of
wage and price controls is that they
see that the one thing worse than
controls is preventing inflation by
having a lot of people without jobs.
